ADHD Treatments, Sleep, and Sleep Problems: Complex Associations
Open accessAbstract
ADHD, sleep, and ADHD treatments are highly interrelated. In this review, we describe the effects of stimulants and non stimulant medications on sleep in children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. Clinical predictors of sleep problems during pharmacotherapy include age, sleep problems prior to initiating treatment, and dose and dosing schedule. As yet, we have little understanding of the biological or genetic factors related to individual variation in drug response and sleep.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
